Chapter 88 Liu Yan's Makeover
The day of the roof-raising ceremony was another sunny day. At the third crow of the rooster, Liu Yan got up and started working, and Huang Zhenzhu also came to help early in the morning.
Huang Zhenzhu pulled Liu Yan, who was in a hurry to start cooking, off the stove. "Today is a big day for your family, Yan. Why are you dressed like this? Nie Qianqian bought you new clothes, and you need to fix your hair too."
Liu Yan smiled sheepishly, "Those clothes are brand new. I was afraid of getting them dirty while cooking, so I just combed my hair up."
Huang Zhenzhu pulled Liu Yan into the inner room, took out a red cloth from her pocket, and opened the red cloth to reveal a hairpin inlaid with pearls. The pearls were small and very ordinary, but they were jewelry that Liu Yan had never owned before.
Huang Zhenzhu stuffed the hairpin into Liu Yan's hand, saying, "Today is a big day for your family. I can't give you a big gift, so please accept this hairpin."
The hairpin was specially bought by Huang Zhenzhu in the county town. Every time she saw Huang Xiuxiu wearing a pearl hairpin, she would be very envious, thinking it was indescribably exquisite and beautiful. It was something she considered a good thing, so she bought it to give to Liu Yan on the day of the roof-raising ceremony.
Liu Yan: "Sister-in-law..."
Liu Yan's voice was a little choked up.
Huang Zhenzhu and Liu Yan were not related by blood, and they hadn't had much contact over the years, so they weren't particularly close. However, Huang Zhenzhu knew about Liu Xiong's assistance to Liu Yan every time, and she always tacitly approved of it. When Liu Yan had nowhere to go after leaving the Nie family, Huang Zhenzhu wasn't entirely happy about it, but she ultimately agreed to Liu Xiong's idea of bringing Liu Yan back to the Liu family.
Liu Yan always felt grateful to Huang Zhenzhu. Everyone has their own little thoughts, but Huang Zhenzhu had a kind and soft-hearted side.
Huang Zhenzhu made Liu Yan change into new clothes and pressed Liu Yan down in front of the table, on which was placed a brass mirror.
Huang Zhenzhu: "Sister-in-law will comb your hair properly."
Huang Zhenzhu was skillful and had learned how to style women's hair in the county town. Soon, she styled Liu Yan's hair into a beautiful and elegant bun and inserted the hairpin into Liu Yan's hair.
Liu Yan looked at Huang Zhenzhu and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so skillful. This hairstyle is so beautiful, and this hairpin is so exquisite."
It resembled the hairstyle of a wealthy woman she had seen in the county town.
Nie Qianqian got out of bed and stood smiling at the door. She looked at Liu Yan, who had changed her clothes and hairstyle and looked very different from usual. She had a sudden thought and turned to the corner, where she took out all the cosmetics from her space and put them into various small porcelain bottles.
Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "Mother, let me do your makeup."
Foundation, concealer, loose powder, highlighter, contour, blush, lipstick, and eyebrow makeup.
It was Liu Yan's first time wearing makeup, and Nie Qianqian didn't aim for a dramatic transformation; she applied the makeup very lightly and naturally.
The foundation matches Liu Yan's skin tone, the highlighter has a matte texture that doesn't look out of place, the lipstick is a warm mauve color, the blush is subtle and enhances her complexion, and the eyebrows are natural, presenting a bare-faced effect while retaining Liu Yan's own facial features.
Huang Zhenzhu and Liu Yan were increasingly surprised as they watched, seeing Liu Yan gradually change, as if she had been subjected to a transformation spell.
Skin is brighter and healthier, spots are gone, dark circles are gone, wrinkles are smoothed out, complexion is better, and you feel more energetic.
Huang Zhenzhu stared at Liu Yan without blinking. She could clearly tell that the person in front of her was Liu Yan, but she didn't quite look like Liu Yan.
Liu Yan stared at the bronze mirror, her eyes filled with shock. She was speechless with astonishment. Was the person in the mirror her?
For a time, Liu Yan herself was disgusted with her appearance. When she went to the river to wash clothes, she didn't want to look at her reflection in the water. If she happened to catch a glimpse of the tired, sallow-faced woman in the water, she would feel disheartened and hurriedly use her clothes to scatter the reflection.
But now, she stared blankly at herself, raised her hand in disbelief, and gently and slowly stroked her face, gazing at herself intently, unable to come back to her senses.
Nie Qianqian was very satisfied with the makeup effect. Although she was not a makeup master, she had been studying makeup since college, reading various bloggers' makeup techniques, trying out all kinds of cosmetics, and had her own insights.
Huang Zhenzhu was stunned for a long time, then pointed to a pile of bottles and jars on the table, "Qianqian, where did you get all of this?"
Nie Qianqian: "Since I joined Jishetang, I've been dealing with herbs all day long. I often mix and match various colored herbs, and over time, I figured it out myself."
Yes, she's just that talented; she can only be that talented.
Huang Zhenzhu's eyes widened. "If this were sold in the county town, all the ladies and young women would go crazy for it!"
Furthermore, Nie Qianqian's makeup skills are so good that wealthy ladies would pay a fortune to hire her.
Nie Qianqian glanced at Huang Zhenzhu and raised her eyebrows slightly. She hadn't expected her aunt to have such a sharp business sense.
Nie Qianqian had already planned ahead. She would leverage Liu Yan's strengths: opening a restaurant was the first step, exclusive cosmetics were the second, and baby products were the third, since women and children's money was the easiest to earn.
Practicing medicine and treating patients is her profession and her destiny. She will not devote herself entirely to doing business and making money. These businesses need to be established step by step, and she will slowly cultivate Liu Yan and Liu Xiong.
Liu Yan stood up, dressed in brand-new clothes, with her hair neatly styled in a bun and adorned with a pearl hairpin. Her simple yet elegant appearance and delicate features made it impossible not to linger.
Clothes make the man, and Liu Yan looked like a completely different person in this outfit, which made Huang Zhenzhu's eyes show envy.
What woman doesn't love beauty?
Nie Qianqian noticed Huang Zhenzhu's gaze and knew she definitely wanted to experience the makeup technique. "Auntie, I'll do your makeup another day."
Not today. Today, she wants her mother to be the only one to attract everyone's attention.
Liu Xiong's voice came through, "Where are they? Where are they?"
Seeing that there was no one in the yard or kitchen, Liu Xiong ran into the inner room to look for someone.
Liu Xiong walked to the door and saw Liu Yan. He was startled and silently withdrew his foot from the threshold. He scratched his head and hurriedly turned around and retreated.
Nie Qianqian and the other two looked at each other and then burst out laughing.
Liu Xiong walked into the yard, scratched his head again, frowned, and looked puzzled.
Why has a noble lady come to our house? That lady from earlier looked so familiar.
Huh?
He turned around again, cautiously approached the doorway, glanced quickly at Liu Yan, then looked away.
This guy looks so much like my sister.
Huang Zhenzhu couldn't help herself and laughed as she pulled Liu Xiong in, "You silly goose, don't you even recognize your own sister?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth gaped open wide enough to swallow a large bowl. "Swallow?"
Liu Yan couldn't help but feel happy, but at the same time a little embarrassed. "Brother, it's me."
Liu Xiong blinked, then looked at Liu Yan seriously again, "You..."
"you···"
Liu Xiong struggled for a long time without uttering a single word, finally managing to squeeze out a few words, "You had a head transplant?"
